I can only go on personal experience really scousewerule ive owned the solo but not the uno ,i never had an issue with the solo i however upgraded to the duo a twin tuner.On the matter of an extra £80 well it depends on if your going to take advantage of the blindscan facility faster processor etc its down to personal choice really
-
i would pay the extra and go for the duo mate tbh with you or rob a bank and get the ultimo
-
i have got a uno great box very fast m8 and good tuner in it for weak sat signals ? its better than solo i had one of them ? but i think its no better than vu duo ? i no it dose not help much its realy down to what you want out of a box m8
-
defo save the extra few quid and get the duo,serious piece of technology,ud only be teasing urself with single tuner,
-
if you get a vu uno you can always put a usb tuner on it and then its the same as vu duo but better spec ???
-
if you get a vu uno you can always put a usb tuner on it and then its the same as vu duo but better spec ???
indeed!! :smile:
-
Uno all the way mate but tbh i would pay the extra and get a duo twin tuner you might want to upgrade to a twin tuner and only £30 dearer than the uno or you could easily put a usb tv tuner or play tv card in the back as well and make it a 3 tuner saves buying an ultimo
-
With the amount of tuts and support on here your going to find it very easy to setup buddy.
Hope you enjoy your Uno when you get it,dont be afraid to try a few different images on it,see which one you like best. The latest BH 1.7.2 is a very stable image for the Vu.

I have today recieved my VU+ Solo and must say its cool.
I'm that impressed i have decided i'm going to replace my DM800HD Genuine with a VU+ Duo asap.
Great little box you will have fun with yours m8 i'm sure.Jono
-
Glad your enjoying it Jono!
The VU boxes are very user friendly and easy to look after,very stable and need little or no attention.
If your liking the Solo already your really going to love the Duo!!!
